Gold prices cool after hitting over 2-week high on Fed independence fears
Investing.com - Jefferies raised its price target on The TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX) to $160 from $155 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, TJX currently trades at a P/E ratio of 32.5x, with analysts setting price targets ranging from $88 to $164.
The firm cited TJX’s potential to benefit from the "secular migration toward the Off-Price sector," which Jefferies believes will likely lead to market share gains from more traditional retailers.
TJX reported strong second-quarter results with same-store sales growth of 4%, with the strongest comparable sales occurring in July. Gross margin and pre-tax margin exceeded Street estimates, while earnings per share beat both guidance and market expectations.
Jefferies suggested that TJX’s third-quarter guidance might be conservative, noting that management remains optimistic about benefiting from a strong buying environment throughout the year and driving continued traffic growth.
The firm also highlighted home goods and international expansion as unique growth opportunities for the off-price retailer, which operates stores including T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods.
